Chapter 28 - A Strategic Move
Jack returns to his office, his mind racing with plans for the convenience store chain. If he can implement the payment processing systems in those stores, he'll have a direct line to millions of customers – and millions of dollars.
Chris is already waiting for him, a tablet in hand. "I ran the numbers, Jack. If we integrate the payment system in just 50 stores, we'll see a 20% increase in revenue within the first month."
Jack nods, his jaw clenched. "That's not enough. I want every store under our control."

"We're going to need more manpower for this," Chris says. "The startup's tech team is good, but they're not big enough to handle a nationwide rollout."
"Then we'll hire more staff," Jack says, tapping his finger on the desk. "Find me the best developers in the city."
Chris nods and rushes out, but before he can leave, Jack stops him. "One more thing. Keep an eye on Leonard. If he even thinks about going behind my back, I want to know."
Chris smirks. "Got it."

Jack leans back in his chair, eyes focused on the city skyline. "The game board is expanding. Time to make my next move."
